Flashback post: As the hype over "Canada the Energy Superpower" continues, we're dismissing the myth making going on. The idea that Canadian exports of natural gas will reduce global emissions is conjecture pulled out of proponents' backsides. climateinstitute.ca/will-canadia...

Will Canadian LNG increase or decrease emissions?
Evidence suggests that expanding Canadian LNG will increase domestic emissions and have uncertain implications for global emissions.

Parliament correctly declared a climate emergency in 2019, but they need to act on it! The current approach when there's a problem with a climate law or policy is just to junk it without considering a fix or replacement - it's cravenly bad behaviour.
